Dec 2, 2007 This is a solid IPA. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. Big time citrus aroma, with scents of grapefruit standing out. Medium bodied, well balanced, and somewhat smooth - with good citrus hop flavors throughout. Nice!!

Dec 2, 2007 Coppery orange, decent sized white head. Big hop aroma, big hop flavor, exactly what I’ve come to expect in a Southern Cal IPA. Nice mix of earthy and fruity hops with a unobtrusive malt backbone.

Dec 1, 2007 (Old rating discovered in a dusty pile of forgotten notes.) Thanks to aspidites for this!. Pours dark gold. Medium body and carbonation. Aroma and taste of every permutation of hops. Resinous finish.

Nov 27, 2007 650 ml bottle from local liquor store. Pours a cloudy unfiltered amber-gold color with an ample sudsy off-white head that leaves plenty of lacing. The aroma is strong with citrus and a touch of caramel. The Flavor is hops forward with biter hops dominating the show, adding to that biter is a fair amount of citrus flavors (mostly lemons and some grapefruit), pine oil and some sour grapes. The caramel that was hinted at in the aroma never is fully realized in the taste. The mouthfeel is full and silky smooth; the carbonation is lively and effective. This beer finishes long and bitter hoppy. Overall: This is a biter hops lovers beer-- all others need not apply. Recommended

Nov 27, 2007 Pours from the bomber a translucent brownish orange body with a clumpy off white head that left sedimentary rings as the glass emptied. Smells fruity, floral, piney - very balanced aroma that is inviting and not intimidating. Flavor is well balanced too, malty, sugary, piney, lemony, grapefruit, spice even a touch of biscuit. Goes down smooth, lasting bitterness, but nothing overwhelming. The mix of hops produces a great balance between aroma and flavor. A very drinkable and loveable IPA.

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle. Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma of pine, citrus, yeast, and some sweetness from the malt. Flavors of some bitterness, not over powering, and some sweetness from the malt.

Nov 12, 2007 Decent sized white head of fine bubbles. Reduces slowy. Light carbonation. Big floral and citrus hops aroma. Lots of grapefruit, orange, bit of caramel malts and some yeasty notes. Color is a hazy dark orange. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. A little bit thinner than I expected. Big hops presence in the flavor again with some tangy grapefruit pith, a noticable alcohol warming and buttery malts. This brew has a great mouthfeel. Finishes tart and warming from the alcohol. Lingering creamy malts and dry pucking bitterness. A very good IPA.
